Mixed Media Tag by Astrid

Hello Shimmerz friends and happy October!
I have a large tag to share with you today:

I used 4 lovely Shimmerz products, 3 sprays and one paint, these were the ones:
Vibez Egg Noggin, Spritz Sapphire, Coloringz Chocolate browny, and finally Inklingz Miner Miner, a wonderful shimmering gold paint.
I started with adding different texture pastes and extra thick gesso through various stencils.

Next I added an embellishment cluster, using lace, various flowers and a little wooden clock embellishment, arranged them on my tag, and covered them with another layer of gesso,.

Next colour was added with the help of my sprays and paint until I was happy with the result.

I love how the sprays cling to all the different textures with different subtle effect. Some background stamping, a die cut sentiment and little fussy-cut butterfly finish it all off.

Here are some close ups still:

Adding a little more depth of colour, dipping a paint brush into the spray bottle adds some shadow.

The word was cut from scrapbook paper and adhered with foam dots. Again shadows added with a paintbrush.

Love how the sprays even adhere to wood, yet are translucent enough to let the printed numbers come through.

The ribbon at the top was seam binding coloured with the same sprays and then crinkled while still wet.

Astrid you are such a talented lady, it is always so lovely seeing your beautiful creations. Your charming tag has so many gorgeous elements, and embellishments.
